This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.

Maryland men’s lacrosse earned commitments from midfielder John Offutt and long-stick midfielder Oliver Skeean, both class of 2025 prospects, this past week. Skeean announced his decision Sunday and Offutt did so on Monday, both on social media.
Offutt attends St. John’s College High School in Washington, D.C. In his first year, the Cadets posted a 19-0 record, and then won the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship this past season. He is the No. 47 ranked recruit in the class of 2025, per Inside Lacrosse.
Skeean attends Walton High School in Marietta, Georgia. He scored 30 goals as a freshman, and was named an All-American as a sophomore. Skeean is a four-star recruit, per Inside Lacrosse.
Offutt and Skeean join goalie Aidan Seibel, who committed earlier this month, as the Terps’ class of 2025 commits.
